TED Directory Schema and Data Attributes

There are six types of entities stored in the uTexas Enterprise Directory (TED): person, business, group, service (application), department (orgUnit), and id-only. Each entity type has a particular set of data attributes associated with it. The tables below contain information about those data attributes, including the attribute name, whether it is single- or multi-valued, whether it is a required attribute, whether it can be used as a search key, and other related information.

Notes:uid – If record has a blanket restriction, users/services with Standard access will not be able to see the record at all. Additional Restricted Student or Restricted Employee access permission is required to see these records.

eduPersonAffiliation Current high-level affiliation with the university. – Controlled vocabulary: student, faculty, staff, member, alum, affiliate, [none]. If person has student, faculty or staff affiliation, they are also given member affiliation. Attribute not populated if subject has no utexasEduPersonAffiliation values. Values are derived from utexasEduPersonAffiliation values as follows (eduPersonAffiliation – utexasEduPersonAffiliation):

If subject is student AND (staff OR faculty), primary affiliation = student UNLESS subject has a full-time staff/faculty position AND job position does not require student status. If subject has concurrent staff AND faculty affiliations, primary affiliation = faculty UNLESS the Provost's office indicates that the faculty position is not primary.

Attribute not populated if subject has no eduPersonAffiliation values.
